What To Expect

Taking the leap into the unknown can be a thrilling, if scary proposition.  Take comfort in knowing that your primary teacher, Jan Guinn, has shepherded over 100 students through yoga teacher training. Her heart-centered approach will encourage you, challenge you, and of course, educate you. What else would you expect from a woman that named her yoga studio, “Yoga From the Heart”?

You Will Learn

The breakdown and language of asana

We will dive in to the basics of yoga asana and you will have the opportunity to practice the poses and start to become more comfortable “cueing” your fellow students. We’ll talk about working with students who are pregnant, injured or less flexible and how to effectively use props so that everyone feels successful.

Meditation

Asana practice was originally designed to prepare the body for meditation.  We will cover a variety of different meditation practices that you can offer to your future students, and in the process, you will learn what meditation practices best suit you and your lifestyle.

The Energy Body

We’ll learn about the body’s chakra or energy system and how our thoughts, emotions, beliefs and other non-physical concerns permeate the physical body and how we can nourish our non-physical qualities such as creativity, intuition and wisdom to create health and happiness through our yoga practice.

Bonus Material

Philosophy and Ayurveda

Yogic philosophy is the path to get there.
